Thanks

Fuel tank replacement on 306

I think that the tanks can be replaced without having to remove any superstructure but I am not sure if anything has to be cut ( bulkheads) under the deck to replace the forward tank. That work if necessary will bump up the cost. I am not sure what the labor rates are in your area nor how much the price of aluminum has increased but I would expect the labor to cost as much as the tanks (about 3 to 4 thousand maybe?)
Depends how well you want to put them back in as well and which tanks you get(how thick gauge aluminum and from where). I would find out the exact specs / dimensions of the tanks from Grady white CS first. While their out I would also recommend replacing the fuel hose to the engines, the fuel intake hose, breather hoses and fuel senders so you wont have to worry about anything else fuel related for a long time.

Curious as those are the same size of the tanks in my Marlin. Can you share pricing/details on the tanks? I assume they are metal?
I should have mentioned that I'm going to replace everything during update. I did get specs on tanks to use and will epoxy coat too. Thanks for responding.
I haven't ordered yet but spoke to a few builders and narrowed down to two. The others were to far out. You'll be in the neighborhood of 4 to 5k. Most boat fuel are aluminum as far as I know. Thanks
